Stakes high in Corby saga
You can't help but feel sympathy for Schapelle Corby, the 27-year-old Australian woman at the centre of a drugs trial in Bali.
Surely she cannot have been so stupid as to try to smuggle 4kg of marijuana into Bali, where it would sell for less than it does on the streets of Australia.
If she was indeed that stupid, she needs help, not jail time. Her defence claims she was the unwitting victim of a domestic drug-smuggling operation gone wrong, but from the little I know of drug rings, I would have thought they were more sophisticated than to bung dope with a wholesale value of more than $36,000 into some random body-board bag and just hope for the best.
